Then you wait around 6 months for SSBI
Then you ship to BCT

Do you have any medical experience ? Or speak any other language? Or anyone can just join as a paramedic?

Just signed up today myself for the reserves. I'm a female. Pretty nervous and excited. Pretty sure it hasn't fully hit me yet.

Does Manvi enlists have to go through intense physical training as well? I have a medical condition that keeps me from intense workouts.

So if I was to join MAVNI with DACA, would I still get U.S. citizenship regardless of my EWI? I don't want to join just for the citizenship, I feel like I need a change in my life and I feel like the Army would be a great opportunity to do so. Though I would prefer to join the Air Force instead. Since they do say it's for legal non-citizens, although they accept DACA applicants too, that EWI wasn't the legalest thing ever.

Army takes like 95% of all MAVNI applicants, other branches can too but they rarely do. You'd need to go into an Air Force recruiting station and talk with a recruiter.

Via MAVNI you get naturalized under section 329 once you're out of boot. Which requires you to serve at least 1 day in a designated periods of hostilities. There is no requirements as to your status. In addition section 329 naturalization overrides the section 316 ban on naturalization if you're subject to a final order of removal (though they might reject you due to a removal order, the recruiter I spoke to basically had no idea what to do about me, and just decided to send my stuff to USCIS and see what happens, came back okay, but I decided that military isn't for me).

Basically, you get citizenship right off the bat, but you need to serve honorably for the 5 years. If you get lower than a general discharge ("other than honorable" or lower), you'll lose your citizenship. If you're discharged for medical / family reasons then it's case by case basis, but generally they won't take anything away.

So I can enlist as a paramedic, even if I never went to medical school? I speak Spanish and French
